FAQs

Music therapy is for everyone. It offers a unique way to explore and express yourself, often reaching parts of your experience that traditional talk therapy can’t. You’re welcome to talk in sessions if you wish, but it’s never required.

 

Because music therapy goes beyond the purely verbal and rational, it offers a different experience of your mind, body, life, and relationships. And since it doesn’t depend on spoken communication, it’s also accessible to people who are non-verbal or who find verbal expression difficult, including those with learning difficulties, mental health challenges, brain injury, dementia, or Alzheimer’s.

Absolutely not! You don’t need any musical background to benefit from music therapy.

During our sessions, we’ll guide and support you so we can use music in a therapeutic way—no skills or prior knowledge required.

 

If you are a musician and would like to explore music therapy, that’s completely welcome too. Depending on what you’re looking for, we can work in different ways to help you feel more confident as a performer, manage performance anxiety, and support your wellbeing during stressful periods.
